When this issue was brought to the TRB, it more or less decided (there wasn't
a formal vote, more of a consensus) that 4.x -> HEAD releases on the same
arch can be supported. As another person who works on the release Makefile,
I don't find this change too obfuscating. I know that you don't agree with
what the TRB consensus, but at some point you just need to accept it and stop
complaining about it every time it pops up.
